Poets are obsolete      unnecessary   passe?
Anybody can write a poem with help from
the artificial poet inside a computer
Is it possible to concoct intelligence?
Can it be named artificial?  

If I asked (A) (I), to comfort me at
two a m when it is dark and sleep eludes me
would it say yes or no or maybe?  

A real live poet could do that
take me in their arms and soothe me
with soft words and maybe even sing to me
A real live poet can do that and so much more  

They might be cantankerous and weep sometimes
When they incant their poems I am transported
Never mind they occasionally throw things
It is my turn to speak softly and assure them of their worth.
